Had this record been released in Bad Brains’ heyday, it would have been at the forefront of the hardcore movement. However, after two and a half decades of hardcore evolution, Bad Brains just seem stuck in the mud. All the Bad Brains trademarks are present and correct – religious undertones, loud and fast riffs, reggae/dub meanderings, but one vital thing is missing – they are no longer the angry young men that made their original releases such vital listening. This is Bad Brains on autopilot, and is a sad thing to see.
